Caution

You must remove the ink cartridges before shipping the printer to prevent leakage. Remove the ink cartridges while the printer is turned on, and then turn off the printer using the Operate button. This will properly close and seal the ink supply valves.

Don’t turn off the printer by unplugging it or turning off a power strip. This will not properly lock the print head in the home position, causing ink to leak out and damage the printer.

Maintaining and Transporting the Printer 6-13

Keep the printer cover and ink cartridge compartments closed to prevent water from getting inside.

5.If the inside of the printer accidentally gets soiled with ink, wipe it off with a damp cloth.

Transporting the Printer

If you need to ship your printer, you must prepare it for transportation and repack it in the original box. You must also remove the ink cartridges, to avoid the possibility of ink leakage. However, if you are moving the printer only a short distance, for example, from one table to another, you don’t need to remove the cartridges.

Be sure to keep the printer level whenever you move it.

1.Turn on the printer.

2.Remove any paper in the printer and in the paper trays. Press the Eject/Continue button to eject any paper that has been fed into the printer.

3.If you’re shipping the printer or moving it a long distance, remove all four of the ink cartridges. Be sure to store them in separate, resealable plastic bags. Close the ink cartridge clamps and compartment covers.

4.Turn off the printer and make sure the print head is in the home (far right) position, as shown below:
